STOCKTON – A quick response by officers to a northeast Stockton home invasion this morning resulted in the arrests of two suspects, police reported.

At 8:23 a.m. today, police were alerted to the robbery in progress on Jayden Way, west of Holman Road and north of East March Lane, according to department spokesman Officer Joe Silva.

When the first officers arrived, they saw one suspect coming out of the house and took him into custody, Silva said. Meanwhile, a second suspect ran back into the house, apparently dropping a gun as he fled, then left out the back and escap ed into the neighborhood.

Police searched soon found the suspect a few houses away, hiding in a garbage can. A police K9 helped officers take the suspect into custody, Silva said.

There were no injuries reported to any occupants of the home that was robbed, according to police.

Schools in the area were put on lockdown during the search but reported little, if any, disruption for students, according to one principal.
